Has anyone directly compared these to eachother?
In terms of sound quality and build quality. Thanks!
 
I have not played them myself but I have seen bands that use them both. Emperor cabs sound good but in my opinion Orange cabs sound better and hold up better. Emperor cabs always and I mean always look beat to shit because they don't cover the cabs with anything. It just stained wood. If you are a bedroom player or do some light gigging it's not a big deal. But if you do any kind of touring you will need road cases for them. On the plus side Emperor can custom make you any cab you want.
 
I love my emperors, I have a pair of 2x12s and they both sound better than my mills does. I've had mine since november of 2010, and they're not beat to shit. In fact I have no wood splitting anywhere, nothing more than a few scratches, just depends on how well you take care of your stuff and I only have a pair of leather slip covers that my sister made for them.

+1 on this ^^ Same thing I would have said.

Have seen and heard both and I would go Orange from that however I do always prefer hands on A/B shootouts.
